Re: buggy tire temperatures?

@Nellix82 Long Story short: Physics.
A lot more Energy goes to the rears due to traction and weight. Thats why the fronts need more time to heat up.

    @Giamaica there is practically no solution for the front temperatures. just as there is no solution for not overheating the rear ones too much since the physics is set up so ok ok thanks

    @Nellix82 So for the question "why" you got the answer. The question "how can I tackle this" never was asked 😉

    Is it only about heating up front tires or also about temperatures they're reaching in the end?

    If it's only about heating up you can do something in you're out lap. Put the brake bias far to the front and then drive your out lap with the brakes applied. Keep the Brake temperature around 700-1000°, ideally in the 900s. You're tires will heat up . If you're fronts still take too long, weave a bit. Just look that you're not hindering someone else and set your brake bias back to the rear before you start you're flying lap.

    If it's about peak temperature: raise the tire pressures. They will heat up more quickly and reach higher temperatures. You can also add some toe. That heats up the tires too. 
    To avoid overheating the rears you can do the opposite: Reduce tire pressures (will add wear). But you can also change the driving a bit. Look for traction, avoid sliding. You can help that with other setup settings like adding more negative camber (to some degree until you'll experience the opposite), you can soften your suspension and rollbars, you can lower your rear ride height (as long as you don't start bottoming out).

    You can also reduce rear toe which indeed does reduce heating up the rear tires, but it doesn't exactly help with traction and sliding. So you'll possibly end up with the opposite effect

    @Wuffels this answer illuminates I already run with minimum pressure at the rear if I increase the front instead I risk the inside too high by unbinding it the rest I try yes I love it to slide instead it is better to pull then make different trajectories

    @JamesONeill I know this video, however, it doesn't say how to try to solve the problem. The rear temperatures go 102 103 based on the guide and the Canadian circuit, for example, exaggerated..... they don't go straight down. I'll try the above solutions, let's see what happens.

    @Nellix82 You really shouldnt worry too much having 2-3 degress outside of the perfect temp window which would only be the case for C5s.. 103° on C5s equals a grip loss is about ~0.6% which is less than half the difference in grip between C4 and C5.. In other words, you are only losing less than 2 tenths, its not the world 🙂

    @Meza994 ok I'll try to get used to these windows hoping to make them go up to 102/103 only when cornering 😀 😝
